Cunt.

He is awful.

Couldn't he hang on another 24 hours for me for the Cup? Cheers Dove.

Yeah, right.

@NotTheNagsHeadReading is at least trying to contribute some originality. All you do around here is complain constantly.

Two immortals in a month. Good start

Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik (1921-2021) Where the hell are my tefillahs? Age at death: 99 Known health issues: Well, everything. Serious cardiorespiratory disease, in critical condition with lung infection in December 2019, again in hospital after a fall in May 2020, got COVID in October 2020, was on life support and received tracheostomy. Cause of death: acute kidney failure as a likely complication of COVID-19. Alignment: well, Dov was the kind of guy you'd see in an angry bigot mob meeting up with torches to burn down Penthouse.

Trouble with the legal team: five of them have quit rather than argue that the election was stolen. Trump impeachment defense: Five attorneys leave team less than two weeks before trial - CNNPolitics I gather Lionel Hutz might be free though.

I haven't read the whole thread and I dare say it's been mentioned before but there is a clear correlation between population density and Covid death rates, isn't there. Belgium, the one country* to have done even worse than the UK, has 973 people per square mile. Britain 725, Italy 518, France 319, Spain just 240. Yes France, with a similar population to us, has more than twice the land area. Germany is in the middle somewhere with 603. They managed the first wave well but have lost 47,000 in four months or so. And if you extract England from the rest of the UK our density goes up to a whopping 1,118. On that basis perhaps we haven't done any worse than might have been expected. *with at least 10 million people

I stopped sending him my Tefillim and Tehillah. It was simple prayer fatigue. I assume I was not the only one who felt this was, sorry, Dovid.

Quick question for the present - are you unable to read the fucking rules?

Also has lung cancer. Might not be a good combo...

Patricia Rooney, the widow of former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney, has died. She was 88. Patricia Rooney was also the mother of Art Rooney II, president of the NFL`s Pittsburgh Steelers. https://www.steelers.com/news/steelers-mourn-the-loss-of-patricia-rooney-88

I really thought it said Dick Cheney for a second

The case of D.B. Cooper still remains a total mystery and to date it is the only unsolved case of aviation piracy in U.S. history. Sheridan Peterson (wiki), who was perhaps the last of the major suspects in the case, died in early this month aged 94. Several of the people who researched the case closely were determined it was him. Peterson never confessed but would frequently toy with the media. The case will be 50 years old in November, as such likely it will never be solved.

I was in Buckingham palace with my husband (I’m single and don’t recognise this geezer in my dream) who was collecting an MBE for services to entertainment. We were in this lobby with general merriment, drinks, canapés and other people presumably on the honours list (two people I remember being in the room are Sir David Attenborough and Eddie Izzard). Then a couple of doctors rushed through the room and some officials started talking through their earpieces in a panic, and I overheard one asking “Who’s going to phone through that London Bridge is down?” Anyway, I posted this in QEII’s thread and I heard that DL notification noise and Attenborough looked at his phone. Don’t know what was more of a shock; the Queen dying upstairs while waiting to knight people or the fact that Attenborough is a poster on here?

Well known for his stint at Temple, and for his fiery demeanor, Hall Of Fame coach John Chaney has died at the age of 89.

Leif Erickson left the chaparral on this day 35 years ago, aged 74.

I was watching tonights news with tears in my eyes watching the relatives of some of the 100,000 dead of corona in the UK Who would have thought so many would die from it so soon.. We are so used to talking about death maybe we sometimes forget the effect it has on their relatives and friends.I hope we all get vaccinated as fast as possible... R.I.P to them all. (apart from Peter Sutcliffe, obviously)

And now Marcel Uderzo (wiki), brother of the above and comic book artist on the Asterix series, has died from COVID-19 aged 87.
